How E-commerce Growth is Changing Life in the Warehouse
November marks the peak of e-commerce season. Orders flood in from B2B and D2C customers alike, and expectations are higher than ever: fast delivery, accurate orders, and real-time stock updates. For UK manufacturers and distributors, this is the moment when operational efficiency is truly tested.
Even well-trained warehouse teams feel the pressure. Pick-lists pile up, stock moves quickly, and temporary staff are often brought in to help, but getting them up to speed fast is always a challenge. Mistakes happen: wrong items shipped, delays on orders, and stressed-out staff trying to keep up with the pace.
ERP systems are helping businesses meet these e-commerce demands. By streamlining order-to-dispatch, supporting multi-location fulfilment, and providing guided workflows, ERP ensures both permanent and seasonal staff can operate effectively from day one. Handheld devices and real-time stock visibility make it easy for temporary teams to contribute without slowing down operations.
For manufacturers and distributors, the surge in e-commerce doesn’t have to be chaotic. With the right systems and support, teams can keep up with demand, deliver orders accurately, and make peak season a true opportunity rather than a challenge.
Take the stress out of seasonal surges, see ERP in action today.
